Why Is Domina Law Group Committed to Helping Farmers?

"I am often asked why I care so much for farmers and ranchers"
Dave Domina said recently. "There are many reasons. First, I am a
farm kid. Much of my family still farms. My wife is a child of agriculture,
too. Second, I know there is nothing more noble than producing food. Making
laws can only be secondary to making food. And, making fair laws can only
follow making good food. "So", Domina says "our work is
secondary to the work of farmers, ranchers, and those who grow and produce
our real wealth... our food."

History proves Domina is right.

On those rare occasions when food producers have rallied, they have changed
the course... and always for the better. Historians call these events
"agrarian reform". There are many instances in history, though
they are widely spaced in time. History is long, so events making an impressive
list are nonetheless rare, as R Calf is now living in rare, but important
historical space.

Each of these events, and many, many more, marked major changes in direction
for the cultures affected by them:

BC:

486

Cassius enacts land ownership reform, Rome to break up strangling large estates.

367

Licinian Rogations (367 B.C.) of Caius Licinius Calvus Stolo limited the
amount of land any citizen could hold, and the number of sheep and cattle.
(Early anticoncentration efforts.)

Too much time has passed since 1955. Too little has been done to protect
farmers for 50 years now. At Domina Law Group, we know big business will
always have the easy path to access, to legislators, and elected officials,
and will always be able to outspend opponents to try to buy the outcomes
they seek in courts through intimidation or legal maneuvering. But, justice
enjoys the hospitality of the fair minded and grounded, not the selfish
or rich. Justice it the friend of the humble and sincere, not the moneyed
or hedonistic.
